Coach John MacLean said most of the players from the day's first session will form the team he uses Thursday night against the Rangers. He indicated he may insert some young players from the second group.

"There will be some changes," MacLean noted. "Marty (Brodeur) is going to be one of the guys in the game tomorrow. It looks like most of the vets."

MacLean said we may see Jacob Josefson again.

"You may. He's an exciting kid. He's got speed. He's explosive. So we'll see how it goes," the coach said. "When he gets the opportunity again we'll see how it goes. He does have a tremendous upside. He does things that you can't teach. Those are always positives."

He is hoping the Zach Parise-Travis Zajac-Ilya Kovalchuk line improves its chemistry.

"The more they play together the more chemistry they're going to get," he said. "Wer'll see how it works. out. We'll experiment. It's training camp, we're going to try different units in different situations. The plus is they're all very, very good players so we'll find good combinations for them."

The coaching staff of MacLean, Larry Robinson and Adam Oates are still adjusting to each other behind the bench.

"Like the players, the coaching staff has to get in sync and get ready," MacLean admitted. "We'll be at full stride when the regular season starts and that's what we want our players to be also."

MacLean said he doesn't necessarily speak each day with the scouts and coaches watching practices from above.

"No, I speak every day with my coaches that were on the ice. And I speak every day with Lou (Lamoriello)," he said. "They all have a job to do. They're here to evaluate for different reasons and in different ways."

Adam Mair, who scored his first goal for the Devils Tuesday night in Philadelphia, said of his debut: "It would've been nice if we got the win. They (the Flyers) had pretty much their whole (NHL) team dressed.
